Default RE: Why are Some Africans so self destructive? - 03-28-2005, 08:40 PM

Kwanza I usually watch "On Africa" If you live In Baltimore it comes on every Thursday from 8.00PM on PBS ( channel 19) They usually do a documentary on different African Countries and stuff. Sometimes when I'm done watching... am surprised at some of the things they show, surprisingly they have never shown any Urban setting (cities, towns) they usually go to shaggz and do the documentary huko.... which I dont have a problem, problem is when the media potrays Africa to be a certain way people take it @ media value...like when they show people hunting,digging farms with their hands,pple running after the kuku to slaughter it, witch Doctors, people drinking and bathing in the rivers, stuff like thay... thats what people wanna beleive... So when you try and tell people that its not the same everywhere they dont believe you...coz the media looks more truthful...I am just thinking they should diversify

Just my opinion
